"A six-year-old American boy has been ordered to spend 45 days at a school for troublemakers after he brought his favourite camping cutlery to school. Zachary Christie took out the combination knife, fork and spoon at lunch, in violation of the school policy of not bringing in knives. Zachary agreed that knives should not be in school but said the punishment was "not fair", he told CBS News. Hundreds of people are expected at a school board meeting about the issue. Downes Elementary School, in Newark, Delaware, operates a zero tolerance policy on knives, banning them as dangerous instruments."
